A Youth-Led, Family-Friendly Version of Shakespeare’s Hilarious Comedy
A Timeless Perspective on Love, Wit & Mischief
Back by popular demand, and with a delightful concoction reminiscent of *Downton Abbey* meeting *Brooklyn 9-9*, this rendition of *The Merry Wives of Windsor* promises a rollercoaster of wit, humor, and charm. This is a Limited Run for 3 Performances only October 20-22 at The Capitol Encore Academy of Fayetteville.
Dive into the enthralling world of Sir John Falstaff, the self-assured gentleman, who finds himself ensnared in his own web as he attempts to woo not one, but two wily housewives. As if this weren’t enough to keep you entertained, the tale takes another twist with three suitors vying for the affections of the young Anne Page.
Under the skilled direction of Kathryn Womelsduff, these budding stars of Green Tea channel the energy, complexity, and spirit of their characters. Their performance not only showcases their understanding of the narrative, but reflects their perspective on the timeless themes of love, wit, and mischief.

In a world that is constantly evolving, the age-old tales gain new relevance. This story, although set in a different time, mirrors the clever maneuvers and intrigues of our modern society.
